introduced a little over a year ago by which payment could be made in ten
instalments over a ten-year period frce of interest, which applied to the
sale of two valuable lots, one of 48,850 square feet at the junction of

Central Reclamation, #* a government spokesman said today.
"For the sale of this and future sites with an upset price of $10
million or more, interest at 10 per cent per annum will be charged where
